@Hornet Curly hair is a pain in the ass. So many layers of transparency that you get those blobs if not using enough trans bounces and if you do the render slows to a crawl. Even in your example here I can still see blobs in the hair. The trick I use is to use darker hair textures and strike a balance with the number of bounces.

Thanks once more for the guidance. The render was really a test render to try out your suggestions and it did show that it was indeed a solution. I included it here because I could not see any real loss in detail as seen by the OP. If I was going to work further with this render it would need more work but as it was about ten time quicker than using my normal settings I have an envelope to work in that should improve the render and still save me time in the long run.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
